(following on from the success of the original mission - Wed Jan 12th :wink: http://www.dance-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=6984 )

is to try and focus on one aspect whilst dancing and then report back :wink:

All suggestions welcomed for subsequent weeks of course :roll: :D

This week's mission:

a) guys - to let go of your partner so that she can do shines
b) girls - to get your partner to let you go for a few seconds so that you can

(I have chosen this one as the next mission as I know some people do not feel comfortable when not being held but, you can just do the first half of the basic step and shake the hips on 5,6,7 :wink: conversely, some girls LOVE to shine but the guys don't give them the opportunity to do so.)

ese es demasiado facil asi que step it up a notch: dance an entire song doing shines all by your self on the dance floor

now that's a challenge :twisted:
 
:doh: :lol: I want people to accept the mission not run for cover! But (!!) if they are feeling upto it and confident, then, by all means, extend the challenge and dance a whole song solo BUT you don't get away from doing the partner shines bit! You have to do that either before or afterwards, but it still has to be done :wink: :twisted: :lol:
 
Oh bummer ... I was all geared up for the idea of asking a follow to lead me in a smooth dance. :(

Hmmm ... well, there won't be any shining in foxtrot, tango, nor waltz. ;) :lol:

Yes, I know, this is a Salsa thread. 8) But folks, this is me, DP, have hijack will travel. ;)

Ok, ok, I could still do cha-cha or mambo and let the woman shine away. Heck, I've done it before, maybe the real challenge will be doing it with someone I haven't with previously?

Hmmm ... this still ain't going to be as much of a challenge has the switching of lead and follow. :roll:

Just for you DP, you could try leading her with "no hands" :wink: :lol:

Yes, but isn't a shine suppose to let her do her think with out me leading?

Or am I going to get my first lesson in shines with a question like that?

Hmmm ... I bet there is woman who might let me lead her with no hands now that I think about it. And in Cha-Cha or Mambo! :D

(This isn't likely to work with F,T, and W either. Besides, I might end up looking like a conductor of an orchastra, rather then a lead using no hands with these three. In fact imagine if this was V. Waltz or Quickstep. ;) :lol:)

I see your challenge and raise.

Do that during a bachata.
 
:lol: Glad to see another bachata lover in the house :wink: :lol:

I know that this challenge will be easy (aka a walkover :wink: ) for certain DFers, personally. BUT the challenge will be to get your partner to do it too, and if you are a girl, to get your partner to give you the room to "shine" or for the guys, to not have the girl feeling like "a fish out of water" because they can't/are uncomfortable doing shines :wink:

(AND NO CHEATING!!! :evil: IE. ONLY DANCING WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW ENJOY SHINES!!! :lol: )

Oh bummer, and I had my first target already picked out, and Pacion went ahead and cut me off at the pass. ;) :lol:

I got an idea! I'd say fishing with DP might be a mission. Course we'd need to save that one for sometime in May or June when the fishing is really good up here. ;) :lol:
